I should share this one as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo_e0EvEZn8
While it speaks more to handling rapid events (such as returning a ping pong serve), it provides a decent overview of the heavy lifting going on before your consciousness gets looped into the conversation.
The video is very good. The part about how the visual system handles a game of ping pong seems unbelievable but it does match what I’ve read.
